this is not my first tire change but it is the most troublesome. tonight i ate up two innertubes via pinch flats trying to get the darn tire on the rim. the last 6 to 8 inches are a complete and total pain in the rear and that's when and where it happens.
why does it require so much force? its like the rim and tire aren't the same size but installed without a tube it fits perfectly.
i remember doing this hundreds of times and never has the difficulty level been so high. even broke a plastic lever during tonight's effort.
anyone have a tip, secret or advice to spare the life of another innertube?
btw the tubes are partially inflated and tires dusted with talcum powder.
